Property values: There is a strong relationship between homeownership and property values.

Providing strong supporting data from your Airbnb bookings, market comps, and STR reports will strengthen your case and help you close faster! 

It sounds like you’ve set a strong foundation for your real estate investing journey, especially with the time you’ve spent educating yourself.

Consider financing options like hard money loans, or FHA loans for house hacking, and focus on areas with strong rental demand near the MA/NH border.

I am strongly considering investing into private notes with Aloha Capital.

If the place is vacant, you are still taking that money out of your own pocket.I don't disagree with having a strong cash position; most of my properties are f&c.

I feel very strong on this one!!!  

What I do see is that a strong screening process improves your chances of getting a responsible resident. 

If you're getting started, I'd suggest focusing on single-family homes in growth areas with strong population trends—let me know if you need help finding the right deal!

Only the first can be corrected, but us making a mistake and getting anything less than 5 star review is stricly unacceptable in my eyes and my team also has a strong sense of ownership in their position and loyalty to my company.
